Description
This is a vintage East German DDR (Deutsche Demokratische Republik) belt buckle, dating to the Cold War era. Constructed of stamped metal, the buckle features the distinctive DDR state emblem of a hammer and compass within a wreath of rye, symbolizing East Germany’s socialist state.
Originally issued to members of the NVA (Nationale Volksarmee) and other state organizations, this buckle represents one of the most recognizable symbols of the East German regime. It shows light age and wear but remains a solid example of Cold War-era militaria.
